Page 16 - Boost Your Hiring

2 Introduction

Just as interviewing for the job as a candidate is a learned skill, so is
hiring a learned skill. The purpose of this book is to assist you in
preparing for the interview.
Using the Manager’s Hiring IQ Test to rate your interviewing skills
will help you see where you need to strengthen your skills and your
ability to ask more savvy questions. This fun and interactive quiz will
also enable you to obtain more information from job candidates so that
you will be able to determine objectively whether the person you’re in-
terviewing is the right person for the job.
This book is also intended to demonstrate to the interviewer the im-
portance of listening for the rehearsed answer and how to probe for the
real answer. The idea behind the book is to avoid costly hiring mistakes
and to find the best qualified person for the job.
